This photo of The Devil Wears Prada performing to what appeared to be a rather empty audience on the Main Stage of the recent ‘Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival‘ stop in Holmdel, NJ painted a grim picture of at least that show’s thin attendance. Video footage from that set has also been found online and can be viewed below, should you have disputed the authenticity of the photo.

That said, the turnout might be a bit misleading, as the crowd was a bit healthier for the Victory Stage. Whitechapel‘s performance footage from that date on the Victory Stage can be viewed below as well and seems a modest improvement. To be fair, you also don’t see behind the seats in the aforementioned picture or below footage. That said, one must give credit to The Devil Wears Prada for still getting into it, despite what looks to be a depressing turnout. As you can also see below, things did pick up for headlining act Slayer at least.

Amid inter-band turmoil, cancelled shows and low attendance, this year saw the ‘Mayhem Festival‘ officially come to an end, with it not expected to return next year.
